The Drug Enforcement Administration is working with other federal agencies on immigration enforcement in Colorado. In the last 2.5 weeks, the DEA Rocky Mountain Field Division has made over 90 arrests. Some of the suspects were involved in trafficking fentanyl and methamphetamine, while others had committed violent offenses both in the U.S. and in their home countries.
The DEA provided a list of “Top Ten” arrested suspects who are now in ICE custody. They’re from several countries including Honduras, Cuba, El Salvador and Venezuela.
Special Agent Jonathan Pullen with the DEA’s Rocky Mountain Field Division provided an update on Operation Return to Sender. He says the collaborative effort with federal agencies has allowed the DEA and other agencies to make significant headway in their mission.
